Finally we are on our way to the Signalkuppe, where the highest hut in Europe - the Rifugio Regina Margherita - is located. We walk via the Seserjoch (4296 m), speeding up when in the fall line of a huge ice mass, which is bound to fall some time in the future. Hermann heightens our alertness by telling us which way to run if it really should fall...

Suddenly we find ourselves at the summit and quite near the refugio! I am exhilarated, my smile is too big to fit on my face, I made it, we've made it! I can't believe that my body could endure this. The last two of this days' seven summits I climbed on character rather than on strength. I feel great.

Coming from Rifugio Gnifetti, after having climbed Corno Nero, Ludwigshoehe and Parrot we reached the summit around 12 AM in perfect weather conditions. Wonderful view on Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Gran Paradiso and many more.

We spent the night in Rifugio Gnifetti. Nice place to stay but try to avoid staying there on Thursday (most busy day of the week). When we were there, over 60 people were staying there, making it very crowded and less pleasant.

By telpherage from Alagna Valsesia to Punta Indren where I have climbed on the rocks until refuge Gnifetti, in which I have slept. Early in the morning I have left the refuge and on ice I have climbed the mountain to reach the peak. In the same day I have gone also on the "Zumsteinspitze". Good weather and special view: over the clouds I could see Matterhorn, Lyskaam and others important mountains of the region.
